Snow predicted at 12 noon. At 10 to 12 the big fluffy ones have started to fall.

Driving rain turned to sleet and snow in the fens. Nice coating of wet slush freezing on the ground. Going to be fun riding on that tomorrow.

It was raining earlier. Snowing now. Temperature 1°C here in dark, cold Saarfend.

None of the earlier snow (which was of the large, soggy kind that gets you surprisingly wet when you put the bins out) settled in Middle Earth.  It's now dropped below zero, but without sign of precipitation.

I've left the Ice Spikers on the MTB, in spite of being largely redundant over the weekend.

The snowmaggedon has arrived here in the Far East of the Angles. Whether it will manage to survive until the morning remains to be seen.

Light dusting in Shropshire this morning, but no more than 10mm and as the sun is shining I can't see it lasting long.

Snowing fairly hard now on Shrops/Chesh border.  Was clear when I took the dog out at 7 - not sure now we'll make it to his weekly class at 1030.  Snowed off last Wednesday too.  He'll be forgetting everything he's learned so far.

The Chilterns got off lightly last night, the snow falling onto wet ground leaving the roads clear this morning, if a trifle icy in places.

Despite the local medials promising/warning of snow for "the whole of Bristol", this morning dawned frosty but sunny and snowless.

An inch or so on the North Downs, now disappearing in the sunshine. Not exactly the snowpocalypse. Even the trains are running. I did my civic duty and gritted the hill yesterday evening (then I heard someone else doing it later, so it's probably the most gritted road in Surrey).

Though, of course, the recycling collection lorry has yet to arrive.

Half an inch here in Chester. Liverpool and Manchester airports closed temporarily. White walkers sighted on M56.

Got  caught out unexpectedly  last night in Enniskillen with the cargo bike. Was tempted to leave it there and take a taxi the six miles back home, but cars were moving very slowly so I decided to chance it.

It was easy at first, slow but stable, until I discovered there was ice as well as snow and slid off (it was too gentle to call a fall) for the first of four times. Uphill was never a problem, but descents and sudden adverse cambers were. Downhills were a case of one foot on the ground all the way.

All in all, though, not too bad in suitable clothes and boots. Certainly easier than walking, but not much faster. A lot of time on sidewalks, grass verges, and waiting for cars to crawl past.
